Heart Like A Sky 3
Raw

I’ve been running round town for a new identity
I’ve been dreaming hot dreams of insecurity
I’ve been chasing my heart through the streets of my mind
I’ve been clinging to the bed the sweat is turning me blind

Well I’m plugging all the holes and sealing all the cracks
I’m like a galvanised nerve I just can’t seem to relax

She’s got fire on her breath and chilli on her lips
Teeth around her neck and she’s got jazz on her hips
There’s a flash in my brain like a shot from above
It’s a strange idea of love.

Like a wolf at the door
Like a scratch of a claw
She says “Come on baby, I want it Raw!”
A wolf at the door
A scratch of a claw
“I want it Raw!”

Well I’m driving out of town I’m on the verge of a storm
I’m sucking my St. Christopher and trying to keep calm
A Mambo Mamma on the back of my heels
And this incantation can trap my wheels
There’s a heat in my car there’s a fog on my screen
I’ve never felt so scared never dreamt such a dream
There’s a man on the corner preaching fire above
It’s a strange idea of love

Like a wolf at the door
Like a scratch of a claw
She says “Come on baby, I want it Raw!”
A wolf at the door
A scratch of a claw
Like a wolf at the door
Like a scratch of a claw
She says “Come on baby, I want it Raw!”
A wolf at the door
A scratch of a claw
“I want it Raw!”
Empty Spaces

Once there were times, Love
When we could touch the air between
And out across this room
We’d feel the space with all our schemes
And if we’d just touch hands life would shine
With electric dreams

No matter how many miles
Nothing hurt long distance hearts
And there was always something there
That space could never keep apart
But now I know inside that something’s died
When we’re apart
All we have are
Empty spaces

It’s not like we’re building walls
Too hard to climb to make us blind
Its just so much numbing space
To hollow out the heart and mind
And I can hear echoes of ghosts of love
We left behind

I’ll always love April
We fell in love and we planted seeds
But now we walk through fallen trees
And leaves are crushed beneath
And I will always live in Autumn
Now we’re agreed
All we have are
Empty spaces

I thought this was meant to be
Our love had an energy
But only as time evolved
And all of our strength dissolved
And we’ll never feel the flame that burned so naked
Again.

I walk through Kentish Town
And all the rain, rain pouring down
So many people here
But space like this I’ve never found
And as I get back home and step inside
I realise all I have
All I have are
Empty spaces
